How to play a slow spinny topspin

Hi there,

I still have difficulties to play a slow spinny topspin with fh and bh. When it works it happens more or less accidentally. Most of the times the ball ends in the net because I can't bring enough forward motion into the ball or it lacks topspin. I´m still not sure how long and fast the stroke should be to generate a lot of spin. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

It takes a lot of touch to be able to do it well consistently.

We do have a lesson on this in our Master Classes under Slow Spinny Topspin.

Make a full stroke as we show you in our lesson on the Forehand topspin just get the contact really fine.
